In a theater, in Riverside, California, maybe the last show of the night, because it was me, Glen, and one other person in the theater. I will have to look for one of the books.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-26322894651280587362014-07-10T01:15:05.047-07:002014-07-10T01:15:05.047-07:00Yes I was also drawn by the comparison to earlier ...Yes I was also drawn by the comparison to earlier regarded authors in the genre. Spillane is another who I need to read at some point, but haven't managed to yet. I need to retire so I can read more, but I don't think that is on the cards for a fair few years yet!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-79462813551632117992014-07-10T01:10:55.036-07:002014-07-10T01:10:55.036-07:00Col, I liked the cover art and Moses Wine seems to...Col, I liked the cover art and Moses Wine seems to be an unconventional, or perhaps even a non-conformist, sort of PI. I also like the Mickey Spillane variety of detective fiction.Prashant C.

I like the idea of the laidback Jewish detective - you need to read them so you can give a positive recommendation and I can decide whether or not to read them....Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-41593930361776962172014-07-09T04:53:59.327-07:002014-07-09T04:53:59.327-07:00Margot, I think we're in agreement over book l...Margot, I think we're in agreement over book length.

I certainly like the premise for the protagonist quite a lot. And like you, I'm happy when a writer can tell a story without going to doorstop lengths to do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
